The successful candidate should bring technical and sales skills that establish credibility and presence that is confident and assured both to internal stakeholders and to external customers and partners.

Our team also drives enablement and sales of Salesforce Field Service and Salesforce Scheduler. Ideal candidate would understand today’s business challenges such as:

  • Core customer service - supporting customers with lower costs of service while ensuring call center agents are increasing productivity and/or finding ways to increase company bottom line.
  • Digital service transformation - supporting customers in new channels of engagement from chat, messaging and bots along with traditional channels of email, web-to-case and phone support.
  • Field service management - extending the business capabilities of customers to the edge with their field technicians and their customer scheduling of services, while capturing that traditional paper process into a streamlined two-way engagement within the organization.

The ideal candidate is a collaborative team member, enabler of the broader solution engineering and sales teams, and eventually a deep-subject matter specialist within the Service Cloud Field Service product suite. Join a team that works hard while ensuring the team’s success but also makes sure that we’re having fun along the way.
